that wasn't just ANY bag...that was their "lunch" bag. Obviously they never go anywhere without it.
And...if you can afford one of these, don't you have "people" who carry your bags for you?
First world fail

Some things never change. How about a customer request I had back when I had my first shop going to install a Sportomatic in a 930? (It was a guy. My favorite 930 customer back then was what we'd now call a MILF who wintered in AZ, and I did the 30K service inside the car's first birthday.)

I think the top one is for taking your little dog to the mall.
I'm also guessing that the thing below it fits over your eyes at night.
That thing on the right is for putting in your back pocket as seen in use by those "girls".
...last but not least recyclable shopping bags.

That video is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I think Porsche 911 owners find it so comical because who among us hasn't tried to stuff too much in that tiny front trunk of ours only to figure out, it just won't fit and it's gonna have to go in the back seat.

^^ So true, Haydn 
Magnetic propulsion added to a top-of-the-line hybrid = $$$
Honestly, I think this car is gonna be a tough sell... It's still not sold out yet, in spite of being available for pre-order much longer than the sold out Mclaren P1 and LaFerrari.
Also, the car weighs 300+ pounds more than either of those cars, and it has significantly less power. Irregardless of how anyone feels about PDK only or Hybrid powertrain, I can't help but feel like this car let down the Carrera GT legacy.
"Porsche to sell out of priciest-ever model by December:"
Germany's Porsche expects to sell out its most expensive model ever by early December, bolstering earnings as the sports-car maker grapples with rising capacity costs. Porsche sales chief Bernhard Maier told Reuters on Monday, only a small double-digit number of the plug-in hybrid model, the price of which can rise up to 947,716 euros in Germany on optional equipment, was still available. Production of the 918 Spyder, unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt auto show, has been limited to 918 cars to underscore the exclusivity of the vehicle and the brand. Profits from Porsche are a key part of owner Volkswagen's drive to fund its global expansion plans and overtake sales at Japanese rival Toyota
